are sufficient for the two figures one expects to see here; but they are,

in fact, intended for four figures--two for each of the two Tonalamatls.

For the first of the two Tonalamatls we have only one figure, God K, who,

however, from the dish held in his hand, probably containing honey (compare

10b), seems to stand here also in place of E. In agreement with this,

Hieroglyph 2 and probably also 1 (_s_, which occurs again on page 13a, and

also on page 10b) refers to K, while 3 clearly refers to E and 4 is the

sign a. Hieroglyphs 5-8 belong to the second of the two Tonalamatls. The

first two of these hieroglyphs, which are entirely erased, refer to an

unknown deity, and the last two unquestionably relate to A.
